Adrian Onobanjo, a 47-year-old arriving from Togo, was stopped and searched at
EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Frieburg, four miles from the Swiss city of
Basel. Security staff found more than 33 pounds (15kg) of the insects in a
hidden compartment of his suitcase. When confronted about the discovery, the
man is reported to have eaten as many as he could, to prove they were
harmless.
